The “freedom” theme echoes one of the major concerns of the director of the NIH, Jay Bhattacharya, who feels he suffered ...

People often compare the genome to a computer's program, with the cell using its genetic code to process environmental inputs and produce appropriate responses. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

VALDOSTA — Valdosta State University will present its 41 st Clyde Eugene Connell Visiting Lecture Series event at 6 p.m.

The majority of DNA in one’s body does not encode for any protein. In a Feb. 25 lecture, Rachel Mueller, Colorado State University biology professor, addressed questions surrounding junk DNA, ...

A neuroscientist and assistant professor at the University of Alberta presented his research on the neural mechanisms of sleeping fruit flies at a Georgetown University biology department seminar Feb.

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). These include stuff like superoxide and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2).

How much does life weigh? It sounds like a strange question, but to biologists it makes all the sense in the world. Yeast cells tip the scales at about 100 picograms each. A single E. coli bacterium ...

The Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) program leads to a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree after four years of study. This specialized degree prepares students for careers in clinical laboratories, such ...

Confocal microscopy image of human cells showing a rabies virus P3-protein (green) forming liquid-like droplets inside the nucleus (blue), localising to nucleoli, and binding to and bundling the ...

Researchers are increasingly shifting from simple to complex models to better recapitulate diseases. As they move from immortalized cell lines to more physiologically relevant systems such as ...

Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research has found that stem cells in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea ...
